"Patience, Montag. Our civilization is flinging itself to pieces. Stand back from the centrifuge. Remember the firemen are rarely necessary. You firemen provide a circus now and then … but it's a small sideshow indeed, and hardly necessary to keep things in line. So few want to be rebels anymore."
-- Ray Bradbury, “Farenheit 451"
